Understanding FDA’s Proposed Conformity Assessment Pilot Program

Today on the Global Medical Device Podcast, we’ll be talking to Mike Drues, who is a frequent guest on our show. He’s the president of Vascular Sciences and a guru on all things related to regulatory compliance for medical device companies.

We’ll be chatting about a new program that’s just been announced. It’s a pilot program on accrediting test organizations. The potential is that test compliance will be more consistent and that the process will be streamlined.

“The theory is that this will help streamline and expedite the workload of the FDA and make it easier for medical device companies to know what the FDA expects.”

“Some people try to separate regulation from politics, which makes no sense. Where do the regulations come from? The politicians.”

“If the regulation doesn’t make sense and we follow it anyway, is that a problem with the regulation, or is it a problem with us?”
